Anyone who knows the other various Star Trek to series will maybe recognise where I have taken inspiration from as I remember watching an episode with this kind of storyline in it and I just thought it was really good and could work for some Kirk Whump.
I is for Incarceration
"DONT YOU WALK AWAY FROM ME" the anger in his voice was palpable. He was furious.
"Just try and stop me then, you have no right to do this" the woman stood in front of him spat back, and with that she turned to walk out the room.
The red mist descended over Kirks eyes and grabbing the knife from the table where they had just been sat having dinner he strode over to the woman leaving and grabbed her arm spinning her around to face him. "You are mine, not his" he hissed as he tried to pull her closer to him "You know you want it"
"Get off me" she struggled against his grip, and using her free left hand she slapped him round the face. The sting just made him angrier and he lost it. Bringing the knife up in his right hand he plunged it into her throat. Bright red blood pooled over his hand and as he withdrew the weapon he began to gush out of the wound in big spurts, soaking the front of Kirks clothes. He stepped back and watched as wide eyed with shock the woman grabbed for her throat and fell to her knees. Her mouth moved as if to cry out but all that could be heard was the bubbles of blood and with that she fell face down on to the floor and was still, as the last of her blood pooled around her.

Kirk balled himself up on the floor of his cell and sobbed, gripping at his head he tried to squeeze his eyes shut against the memories that were flooding his brain
"Stop it, please stop it" he begged
Finally the memories did stop and Kirk allowed himself to take a deep breath and unfurl his body. Every hour on the hour he had been forced to live this memory, over and over again.
'"Confess Captain Kirk. You can't deny the evidence"
Pushing himself back to sitting Kirk could feel the sting of tears on his cheeks, his body was shaking uncontrollably
"You've got it wrong, I didn't do it. Please just take them away"
"Confess Captain, the memory engrams do not lie."
Kirk could feel himself starting to cry agin, his throat was sore from all the crying he had been doing the last two days "Please you have to believe me, they are wrong. You have the wrong man, if I could just speak to my crew..."
"No, until you confess you will see no one. You will speak to no one but myself"
Kirk put his balled up fists to his eyes and lent against his knees that were pulled up to his chest and he let the sobs wrack his body as he heard his interrogator walk away and the door lock shut again behind him.
"I didn't do it" he whispered back to no one and let the tears fall.

"I don't care what your goddamned laws say I want to see Captain Kirk and I want to see him NOW" McCoy was shaking with range. Bloody bureaucrats and their pig headed ways, he had been fighting with them in circles now for 2 days and hadn't made any progress.
"Doctor" came the warning voice of the Enterprises first officer and current Acting Captain.
"I'm sorry Spock but we've been on this bloody merry-go-round with these, these...people for 2 days now and we still don't know where Kirk is or even why he was arrested in the first place"
McCoy thought back to the night Kirk had been taken. The crew had been invited to spend shore leave on a federation colony planet. The people had been kind and friendly, and had welcomed the crew with open arms. After 4 days there they were getting ready to go back to the ship and break orbit. Kirk had been invited to dinner with the Prime Minister and his wife and that had been the last time anyone had seen him. All they had been told was Kirk had been arrested and his punishment and interrogation were already underway.
"I'm understand your frustrations Doctor. " Spock waited for the CMO to back down before continuing his conversation with the head of the local law enforcement. "Whilst Commander, I understand your law system it is most unusual for us to have a member of our team arrested and to not be told under what circumstances that arrest has occurred. It would be mutually beneficial to us both if I could find out the reasons behind the Captains arrest and perhaps I can assist in the investigation"
The Commander of the local law enforcement visually bristled at the suggestion that they needed help to investigate a crime on their own planet. "I can assure you Mr Spock, we have the evidence we need from the perpetrator already showing the victims outcome"
McCoy turned to the Commander "Victim? There is a victim?"
Spock again gave McCoy that look that told him to be quiet and let the Vulcan handle it "And what are they a victim of may I enquire. I mean no disrespect to you or your officers, however it is very unlike the Captain to put himself in a situation whereby he would leave a victim behind. Please Commander, in the honour of peaceful relations between us I implore you to provide more details surrounding the Captains arrest"
...&...
Kirk screamed and screamed again. He screamed as he looked at the blood on his hands again, he saw the look of shock in the dying woman's eyes. His head was killing him, how many more times could he stand to have these images burn across his brain. Memories that weren't his own.
He wracked his brains trying to remember what had actually happened, but these memories were overtaking his own so still he screamed.
"Confess Captain...you killed her. The proof is right there in your memories"
Kirk put his hands over his ears, he felt like his head was about to explode, through gritted teeth he responded "No...No...I didn't do it, I couldn't do it. You put them in here, you put them in here. I didn't kill anyone" and he screamed again as he saw the woman fall to the floor and his uniform soaked with the bright red blood.
"Until next time then Captain. I implore you to admit your guilt before the process kills you Captain"
"I...didn't...do ...it" Kirk stuttered before he heard the door lock shut and once again he was alone. He turned and collapsed onto his back, removing his hands from his ears he almost choked when he saw them with streaks of blood on them. For a moment he let himself believe that it was from his senseless murder of an innocent woman before he shook his head and reminded himself he is innocent. Reaching up he felt inside his ear and came away with more blood. It would appear his interrogator was correct, this was going to kill him. But Kirk would let himself be dead and buried rather than admit to a murder he knows he didn't commit.
...&...
McCoy and Spock couldn't believe what they were watching. McCoys blood ran cold as he saw his good friend plunge a knife into the throat of an innocent woman.
"Is this some kind of sick joke" he growled to the Commander stood behind him.
"Commander Stivok, you must excuse our Doctor" Spock turned away from the now still image of the blonde woman lying face down on the floor "but I also find it very difficult to believe that the Captain would commit such a crime"
"the memories speak for themselves Mr Spock, I already told you that"
"And where exactly did the memories come from Commander"
The commander moved to switch off the screen and walked behind his desk to sit down. "We have technology that enables us to take the memory engrams from a person and replay them to allow us to find the perpetrator of a crime. In this case we have taken them from the last person to see Madam Melor alive and that was your Captain. "
McCoy was dumbfounded with what he had just heard, he couldn't even comprehend the technological prowess to be able to do such a procedure.
Spock moved to sit in the chair opposite the desk leaving the doctor to stand in his shock "Commander, are you sure there is no way that these ...engrams... Could be tampered with?"
Once again the Commander appeared to bristle at his being questioned, Spock surmised that he really was not used to be questioned in such a manner given that their evidence seems to speak for itself. "Well, it would be highly unlikely especially as in this instance we found your Captain mere meters from the crime scene"
"The Captain hadn't left the scene of such a brutal murder and you don't find that unusual?" Spock enquired. He was no investigator but logic would dictate that anyone who would commit an act such as the one they had witnessed would look to get themselves as far away from the crime scene as possible.
"No Mr Spock he hadn't, in fact we found him passed out in the victims bedroom. Covered in blood "
McCoy piped up again "Passed out? And you didn't think THAT was unusual. How many people do you know that would go and murder someone and then go for a sleep in the victims bed"
The Commander sighed "I take your point Doctor, Mr Spock. It isn't how I would typically expect a person to act, but the fact still remains we found these memories"
"And who is responsible for collecting these memories Commander?" Spock hoped that if they could find out when they were taken they can figure out how these memories made its way into the Captains brain.
"I have specially trained staff who do it, but given the seriousness of this case since it was the Prime Ministers wife that was brutally slain the Prime Ministers own personal assistant undertook extraction"
"And is that usual for a person such as that to do such a procedure" McCoy asked
the Commander shook his head "No, but he is trained to do so and as such there was no reason to refuse his request"
Spock stood up "Commander, I would like to talk to the Prime Ministers assistant please, and I implore you again to please allow myself or Doctor McCoy to speak to the Captain"
McCoy watched as doubt and fury equally made their way across the Commanders face. Clearly he didn't want to break with their usual rules but Spocks and his own questions must have made the Commander question what he knew. Finally he agreed to allow Spock to interview the Prime Minsters PA and for McCoy to visit Kirk.
...&...
We all know there is no way Kirk could have committed such a crime, but just how have those memories ended up in his head and will he be able to survive the torture reliving them is inflicting on him. We all know Kirk has done some stuff in his past but to kill a woman in cold blood, that isn't how our favourite Captain works.
